Spring Boot Admin Server

Especially in microservice projects, the management and traceability of services is an important factor. We can include Spring Boot Admin Server and it provides a UI for the tracing. Spring Boot Admin Server works with Actuator and Euraka Server.

Spring Boot Actuator provides us to get information about the application status. Spring Boot Admin need to Actuator for checking services health.

For Example:

autoconfig → Shows all autoconfig definitions.

env → Shows Spring’s ConfigurableEnvironment values.

info → Shows application information.

health → Shows app health.

/myService is any service and I need its status.

If myService is running “/myService/actuator/health” returns :

{
    "status" : "UP"
}
